The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation hopes that certification of the MC-21 aircraft will be completed by the end of this year. On December 4, TASS was informed about this by the head of the department Denis Manturov.
“We are doing everything to try to be in time this year,” he said.
On July 20, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the newest Russian aircraft, the MS-21, would soon be on the road.
A day earlier, it was reported that foreign airlines are showing interest in the Russian medium-haul aircraft MS-21.
MS-21 is a family of new generation Russian passenger aircraft. They will be released in several modifications from 150 to 211 seats. Such an aircraft made its first flight in May 2017. In December 2020, the MS-21-310 took off for the first time with Russian PD-14 engines.
In May 2021, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said that there would be no analogues of the MS-21 among Russia’s competitors in the near future.
Rossiya Airlines is going to start operating the MC-21 aircraft in the summer of 2022, and Red Wings expects to deliver the first two of the 16 aircraft of this series in 2023.
